    everyone before buying hard drive reseat old hard drive and try usb update But usb drive must be format32 (right click usb drive to format on pc) then drag and drop "ps3" folder with "update" folder in it, and update folder has update file you get at the sony support website. after that plug in usb stick into ps3 and enter service menu then choose update. Sub if it worked for more tech reviews.

    Saved me buddy! I havent used my PS3 slim 160gb in a year or so. Moved house twice in that time and my PS3 data is corrupted. 15 years of game data gone🤦‍♂️ I've purchased a 250gb 2.5 sata SSD to replace and its currently updating thanks to your video. So annoyed I've lost all that data but now i can get some proper enjoyable gaming under my belt again.

    I haven't played my PS3 Slim in almost three years. I just started playing it again this past week. I played for one night. The following night while playing, the game froze and after restarting the system was acting extremely slow. It would take a long time to boot up and would take forever to even load the main menu and menu icons. If I would wait for everything to finally load and then try to play a game the game would take forever to load and the before anything would play the system would freeze or crash. I bought a new PS3 compatible hard drive, swapped it out and followed the instructions in this video and my PS3 is working like new again! I'm so happy. I did not want to send out my Playstation to Sony and spend $150 bucks! Thank you for this simple video clip! :^D

    My Ps3 suddenly slowed down and had extreme lag. I tried rebuilding the database and a full format of the hdd with no difference. So I concluded the hdd was crapping out. I replaced the hdd with a ssd but had issues with installing the OS/update. It turned out it was just how I saved the update to my usb. Your video helped me realize it was just the file structure of the update on my usb. She is up and running better then new now. Thanks.

    To anyone trying who is getting "No applicable update data was found" now, you have to have the flash drive not only be Fat32, but you also need it to be MBR (Master Boot Record) and not GPT (GUID Partition Table). Just search for a youtube video that shows how to convert a GPT drive to MBR. Hope this helps someone.

  • @domicio1577
    @domicio1577 6 років тому +1

    Remove your hard drive and format it on your PC. Your PC won't detect it right away, you have to go to Disk Management and set a partition to it. When you set the partition, it will ask for the file system, I've used NTFS. After that plug it back to your PS3.

    Thanks dude. I needed to copy a new system update onto my new machine as I put my old 250GB drive into it. I couldn't work out why and it was because it was in the wrong folder. Thanks again.

  • @ThroughFallenEyes
    @ThroughFallenEyes 10 років тому +1

    worked for me. fixed an install that went so bad it corrupted my hard drive! old one was stuck in the infinite loop. bought a new Western Digital hard drive (supposed to be unformatted but turned out to be in NTFS after I checked it on my computer - seriously WD? why would you do that?) so that didn't work for obvious reasons. Returned it to the store, got a free replacement (upgrade) for a Seagate hard drive and the instructions worked like a charm.
    thank you so much! I appreciate the help buddy :)

    thanks man for your video, it was very helpful. I sold my ps3 for some Christmas money and a buddy of mine had one but couldnt get it to work so I took it home, ran all the tests to find out it was a corrupted hdd.another buddy had a 500 gb hdd, sold it to me for 15 bucks and I bought the ps3 for 40. so 65 bucks for a nice new ps3 sounds good to me. thanks again, matt
